They presell con exclusives now before the convention even starts. Itâs all a scam. Current strategy:
@spicywasabi is doing it right, these exclusives are âconsâ and are meant to trick the dumbest of buyers
I grabbed a transformers exclusive at the eBay booth. And I qualified for a free giftâŠ
what was the free gift?
The same book I had just purchased, lol!
Doh!
BOGO I suppose!
Looks like supply is drying up and price is appreciating⊠while demand is still strong.
But Iâm not sure since Iâm a slow person hanging out at the back. 
Supply is not drying up. You are slow.
Prices are climbing, fewer listings, MCS no copies listed, Midtown 1 per, no other online shops with cover price stock, etcâŠ
And this troll comes to the conclusion supply isnât drying up. Head in the sand if it provides you comfort, man.
The book has to be selling $30+ for me to buy a cover price book to flip.
$25 and under aint worth the time.
Sellers keep listings copies.
Ebay is getting flooded.
I see plenty of online stores with copiesâŠ
Noob
Once again, you demonstrate why your opinion is invalid in these conversations.
Can we create a â$30+ cover price flipsâ thread for this dude to post in?
Ha one of those in the pic is mine. Iâve sent a few to CGC and have a few more now on reserve in case this book goes further bonkers.
Usually @monopolyjackson calls comic trends pretty well but I gotta say heâs off on this Absolute Batman. I think itâll settle at 25/30 or so.
Hahaha. I hope you are joking
No, I think $25 would be a pretty good settling point for the foreseeable future.
Not that part. The 1st statement
Midtown has plenty of copies @ $12. This was just one of their several stores in NYC.
That being said, I finally sold my first copy last night at $24. If I can sell more at that price I may actually restock when I swing by again later.
Midtown often has stock of many hot books due to their monster order size. But that doesnât mean a book wonât trend. Thankfully, they donât sandbag the entire market like â â â â â -ass MCSâ one-per instant eBay uploads.
I found three online at my secret honey hole store. I ordered them and held my breath. They showed up in the mail this morning.
Brings my total to 8 copies
Just FYIâŠit (AB) also hit that ole app everyone loves to hate a bit late last night as a hot and trending book (not that it comes a surprise). There are folks who use that list as gospel and pay zero attention to other things.
I found a, âMark Spears Monsters,â issue one cover A and B at a spot that seems to have more folks after hero comics with the indie stuff overlooked. I was pleased.
Was about to go hunting today for all the new champions variant covers but itâs such a miserable wet and rainy day here. Lots of rain and itâs cold on top to boot. Decided I wasnât going to embrace the elements, will go tomorrow instead.
Then I heard the beautiful cash register sound on my mobile and see that another copy of AB1 has sold. Checked over my inventory and in a panic noticed that my inventory is drying upâŠ
Decided to bump my price up to $30 of my other copies to see what happens⊠then suddenlyâŠ
What is happening? Is this a dream? I was told by the "wise " Comic Book Speculation Authority that sellers are flooding market, this ainât no Ultimate Spider-Man the man says. âYou are slowâ the man says, this heading straight to the dollar bins.
I happily pack my items and drop them off at the post office to the happy buyers who werenât lucky enough to find a copy. I know they will love this issue as itâs a great read. Perhaps they just love good comics and they donât care about speculation. Strangely enough most of my buyers are from California. Wonder if supply is drying up thereâŠ
Bringing your A game this evening!
